Genetic and Genomic Analyses of Xenopus: - This Program Announcement (PA) encourages investigator-initiated applications designed to exploit the power of Xenopus as a vertebrate model for biomedical research. Applications are welcome proposing to develop new tools or genetic or genomic resources of high priority to the Xenopus community that will advance the detection and characterization of genes, pathways, and phenotypes of interest in development, organogenesis, and in cell biological processes, such as cell division, signaling and migration. - Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards made will depend upon the numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. - This PA will use the NIH individual research project grant (R01) award mechanism. - Eligible organizations include for-profit or non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units or State and local government; eligible agencies of the Federal government; and, domestic or foreign institutions. - Eligible principal investigators include any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH programs. - Applications must be prepared using the most recent version of the PHS 398 research grant application instructions and forms available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive format.
